This new PowerPoint game, like all the others on EffectiveChildrensMinistry.org, is completely free.

It is simple to play and has the added bonus of additional slides, suitable for a brief comment on the eternal nature of God’s love, and how it is seen in Christ’s sacrifice.

After the title image, the game is played on one slide. The children choose a number (if played as a review game, they earn the right by answering a question correctly). Once that number is clicked, it reveals a chocolate. Ordinary chocs score 25, but heart chocs are worth 50 points!

Full instructions are included on the slides at the end, together with a suggested commentary on the bonus extra slides.

Last year we made a little PowerPoint game for Christmas. As the post announcing this resource is deep in our archives, we are flagging it up again here, to let you know that the free PowerPoint is still available for download.

It’s a very simple idea – the two teams have to answer questions in order to light all five bulbs in their string of Christmas lights.

Right-click on the link below and save the file to your harddrive. Don’t worry if you do not have the Powerpoint program on your computer. This self-running file with open up and work just the same, using your mouse to click on the lights.

Christmas Cookie Countis a simple but effective PowerPoint game. It can be played quickly as a stand-alone game, or used effectively as a review game after a Bible lesson.

Here’s how it works…

Two teams play alternately

After answering a review question correctly and being awarded points (we suggest 50 for a correct answer) the first team chooses a cookie. It is fun to have them describe the cookie, rather than simply point to it. This encourages the children’s powers of expression.

The PowerPoint operator then clicks once on the selected cookie.

that cookie will slide off the screen and a Bonus Score will then be revealed and should be added to the score so far.

The next team will win their chance to play by answering a review question.

They then choose their cookie and the revealed score is added to their total.

The game continues until all the cookies have gone, or the time alotted has finished.

The winning team is the one with the highest score.
